Learn more about Nintendo 2DS

Nintendo 2DS is a lot like its bigger brother the 3DS, but with a new design and no glasses-free 3D screen. Which is great for lots of reasons – the biggest one being, if you're buying for a young child you don't have to worry about the 3D screen hurting their eyes. It's cheaper too.
The 'slate' shape of Nintendo 2DS is also sturdier meaning it can hold up to those drops and bumps. All the features of the original 3DS are here in 2DS: it plays the same games, has online play and it's great fun!

What's in the box?

Every Nintendo 2DS bundle comes with the usual suspects; the 2DS system itself, an official Nintendo 2DS Stylus, a 4GB SD memory card to store your game downloads & saves, 6 AR cards for use with the 2DS rear-facing camera and a quick start guide. It even one-ups bigger brother by coming with a universal AC adapter.

Play every 3DS and DS game

Few current consoles can rival Nintendo 2DS for choice of games. You can play the full library of original 3DS games on 2DS and Nintendo DS games as well. There are hundreds of classics to choose from, like Super Mario 3D Land, The Legend of Zelda, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Pokemon and more.

Online fun with StreetPass and Miiverse

The Nintendo 2DS may be a budget console but it's still crammed with online features you’ll love. StreetPass lets you exchange game data with other 2DS players you pass on the street while Miiverse lets you draw and chat in communities focused on your favourite games.

Suitable for under 7s

2DS is the perfect way to introduce kids to the world of Nintendo and video games in general. The original 3DS has a stereoscopic 3D screen that isn't safe for young eyes. With 2DS, anyone can play!
